'“Have
you been to the Eden project ?” Everybody
keeps asking. Forget about the “project”.
THIS IS EDEN and God permitting we shall come back
to it.'
Yvette and Andre from Brittany, France |
Just outside Camelford, on the
fringe of the wild moors is a long, country lane, once
used by smugglers travelling from Trebarwith Strand to
Jamaica Inn. Follow that peaceful lane through the trees
and past the fields and just as the whole world seems
to have been left behind, you will find Aldermoor Farm,
nestling in a hollow, offering you privacy, amity and
a truly relaxing break.
Aldermoor Farm has garnered more than
300 years worth of secrets since it was built by moorland
dwellers from local stones. Soaked in the colourful
history of this area, it offers a perfect holiday experience:
a combination of unrivalled tranquillity and unending
diversion.
Aldermoor is a small grassland farm on
the edge of Bodmin Moor and we have lived and farmed
here for the past 30 years. The earliest known record
of Aldermoor was found on a map dated 1742 in Lanhydrock,
although it probably existed many years before that
date.
We used to run a small herd of suckler
cows and a flock of sheep, together with an array of
other livestock such as pigs, geese and chickens. There
are many funny stories that can be told about our animals.
We now let the grass to our neighbours
and it is stocked with cattle in the summer months and
sheep in the winter. And there is still an ever-increasing
menagerie of fur and feathers, both domestic and wild
for you to enjoy and more opportunities to immerse yourself
in country living than you could wish for.
The cottages were originally moorland
homes, converted many years ago into holiday accommodation.
Over the years we have done our bit to enhance the comfort
and cosiness of the accommodation they now provide.
We feel we can offer our guests something
truly special – a relaxing holiday with comfortable,
homely accommodation surrounded by the best that nature
has to offer in a beautiful part of the country.
